 * Update:
    If I add:
 * >  D:\Hosting\9849076\html\wp-content\uploads
 * from the GoDaddy Server Details window | Absolute Hosting Path, to field:
 * >  Settings | Medit | Uploading Files | Store uploads in this folder, with ‘Organize
   > my uploads into month-and year-based folders’ checkbox cleared…
 * a message appears:
 * >  “The uploaded file could not be moved to D:\Hosting\9849076\html\wp-content\
   > uploads”
 * So it looks like whatever permissions issue there was has since disappeared. 
   But it’s still not working right.
 * Is it just -my- WordPress Windows version that has an upload media problem?
 * Thanks

 * F.Y.I: My wp-config.php file settings (for Windows):
 * // ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
    /** The
   name of the database for WordPress */ define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘rtng’);
 * /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘rtng’);
 * /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘a password is here’);
 * /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘rtng.db.9849076.hostedresource.com’);–
   from Web Hosting | Launch | MySQL | Manage via phpMyAdmin | Server: rtng.db.9849076.
   hostedresource.com
 * /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’,‘
   utf8’);
 * /** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’,”);

 * Thanks for that.
 * I see what you are saying about an IIS USER. Created a new GoDaddy FTP user and
   pw – using the WordPress user id listed in ‘Users’. Tested fine w/FileZilla.
 * It didn’t help with the problem, however. Same error msg appears.

 * Thanks…. I asked a Tech Support person there. WP is a 3rd party product, and 
   they don’t know that much about it, it turns out.
 *  Is the ‘/’s in the error msg just a leftover from Linux… I hope(?) I am thinking
   that WP would not seriously try to make dirs with ‘/’s in Window paths, would
   it?
